Burning up almost all of your available blood sugar. Not eating properly.
Medium to extreme exertion when low on available blood sugar. I think the
best cure is some sugar/glucose, then a small amount of easily digested
carbs, because the sugar gives you enough energy to digest, and the carbs
are going to hang around and stabilise your sugar levels. Should probably
have small meals throughout the day, and include some carbs, and always
keep some 97% glucose handy in the form of tablets.

Any sugestion of change in body is indication of something s going wrong.
if you have diab genes and you spot even one sympom, go for blood test. i
recognised it when i went for swiming and then extreme shakiness , weakness
and hungry for something sweet/salty came in. i could tell straight away
its hypoglicemia. my dr said no, i said i want test. now i am 6.4.

I get very short temered if im hungry, sometimes shaky. but once i eat
something or drink something im the nicest guy…. could this be something
or is this normal? wife says its not but i dont know. never been diagnosed.﻿

i do not on insulin.i started having dizzy spells and headaches about the
time i started school i am 26 now. a lot of people think it is in my head.
i have tested my blood and have never been higher then 130 ml. but i have
been as low as 42 ml. i have not changed my diet or activities but i have
hypo attacks a lot. Dr. R keeps telling me there is nothing wrong with me.
yet i have collapsed at work and other public places Dr R use to think that
i skipped meals or took insulin to make my sugar drop. i wake at 6:30 am
breakfast at 7 am oatmeal, 1st snack 10 am fresh fruit, lunch at 1 pm
sandwich and flavored brown rice, 2nd snack at 4 pm mixed nuts. dinner at 7
pm salad with beans or rice, 3rd snack at 9:30 pm yogurt, ice cream, or
cottage cheese. bed at 10:30 pm. i institutionalized my self in ISO for 2
week and has 5 hypos and 2 seizures. Dr R had them checked for contraband
and they found nothing .i was allowed 3 meals a day and only water. Dr R
has been my family’s Dr sense before i was born. he delivered me and my
older sisters. he still keeps saying there is nothing wrong with me i have
found a new Dr they ran a bunch of tests to day hope they will find the
cause of the headaches and other thinks﻿

I get the same way. be careful with that. when your body starts reacting to
low blood sugar its super low. get something to eat as soon as you can.
I’ve fainted before. there’s something called a diabetic coma that can
happen if you let it go on too long.

I often experience hypoglycemia not due to diabetes but due to systematic
undereating. Actually, after some time you start getting addicted to it
because it causes you to lose touch with reality and it feels like you are
somewhere else. ﻿

I am not anyway diabetic. A couple of people in my family but they never
had it like mine. I constantly get up in the middle of the night to get a
snack. For a while I was drinking vanilla flavoured Pedialite shakes. I get
hungry/shaky in a matter of 40-50 minutes after eating some food. I heard
that you can buy a Blood Glucose Meter over the counter at a drug store,
you must be eighteen to buy it. Should I get a Blood Glucose Meter to make
sure I don’t have very low blood sugar? I am a 15 year old girl, turning 16
in August. ﻿

+olive oyl I was put on medication to treat ADHD. It was causing me
problems with my blood sugar, energy and depression. It has improved a lot
since I was taken of the medication. I drink a protein shake, soda and eat
a bagel in the morning. I drink a vitamin water during lunch and have
dessert at night. I don’t have a blood sugar Meter. I keep snack items with
me wherever I go, to keep my blood sugar up.

+Alia Phelps good for you. me, i am still getting the hang of it. i am
scheduled for a thorough test this 27th to really check what’s going on as
the symptoms don’t go away. i am even afraid to go out nor drive because,
when i get hungry, i feel like passing out everytime…

I feel off balance lot like disequilibrium! mainly comes on during alot of
salt or sugar intake, Got an inner ear problem too! I notice if I eat well
like my greens! I feel better but I eat so much rubbish!﻿

This is very helpful. I do feel most of these symptoms, but in addition to
this I feel at this a very sharp and constant sort of headache, and I feel
as if I had a nail driving through the side of my head. Could this be
related?﻿

i have glycogen storage disease type 3a with muscle and liver involvement,
i get hypoglycemia and its horrible, i get cold clammy sweats really bad
actually just drips off me, ive just bought a new medical bracelet because
i have a really bad episode last week and was nearly passing out﻿

Although I didn’t feel any of the symptoms mentioned, probably due to my
insensitivity, but during a blood test before my angiography I was
diagnosed with the type 2 diabetes. I has been managing diabetes through
diet and walk. But now I must include drugs as it’s going out of control
without medications. I got to know this because of the feeling of light
headedness and dizziness. No symptom should be ignored.*﻿
